Chapter 481 Unraveling the Mystery of the Monster Mist, Mysterious Inheritance Sparks Conflict
Unraveling the mystery of monsters shrouded in mist, a mysterious legacy sparks conflict.
Lingyue's injury greatly alarmed Zhu Bajie. Like a mad bull, he brandished his nine-toothed rake and charged recklessly towards the monster, shouting, "You ugly monster, how dare you hurt Lingyue! I, Old Pig, will beat you to a pulp today!"
The monster was startled by Zhu Bajie's imposing aura and was about to turn around to deal with it when it was suddenly grazed by a sword aura. It was Liu Yu who had seized the opportunity to strike. Although the sword aura did not inflict a fatal wound on the monster, it still made it feel pain and roared angrily.
Xiaoqing watched Lingyue with concern as she shook her bell, trying to dispel the eerie black smoke around them with sound waves. She cried out anxiously, "This black smoke is getting in the way! Everyone be careful, don't let the monster get in!"
Fahai clasped his hands together, chanting incantations. The Buddhist light intensified, carving out a bright area within the black smoke. He shouted, "Everyone, don't panic! Stay calm! This humble monk will do his best to suppress this monster's movements!" The Buddhist light enveloped the monster, slowing it down once more.
Taking advantage of the monster being distracted by the Buddha's light, Er Gou moved like a ghost to its back, searching for any possible weaknesses. He gripped his dagger tightly, his eyes focused, thinking, "This guy's scales are too hard; ordinary attacks are useless. I need to find a weakness."
At this moment, Pigsy was already wrestling with the monster. He wielded his nine-toothed rake with great force, but the monster's scales were incredibly hard, and each attack had limited effect. Pigsy fought while complaining, "You thick-skinned wretch, watch how I, Old Pig, deal with you!"
The monster, growing increasingly annoyed by Pigsy's entanglement, suddenly swung its body, flinging Pigsy away. Pigsy arced through the air before crashing to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.
"Bajie!" everyone shouted in unison.
Pigsy got up from the ground, covered in dirt, spat out a mouthful of mud, and said defiantly, "I'm fine. This monster really does have some skills."
Despite her injuries, Lingyue endured the pain and shouted, "Everyone, don't panic! This monster must have a weakness. Let's calm down and think of a way." As she spoke, she took out a bottle of potion from her bosom, drank it, and the pain in her wounds seemed to lessen somewhat.
While dodging the monster's occasional claw attacks, Liu Yu pondered a countermeasure. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Er Gou, attack its leg joints! The scales there are relatively thinner!"
Upon hearing this, Er Gou immediately understood. He aimed for the monster's leg joint, charged forward, and thrust the dagger in with all his might. The monster cried out in pain, letting out a shrill scream, its legs buckling and nearly causing it to fall.
Seeing this, Pigsy perked up and charged forward again, smashing his rake hard against the monster's injured leg joint. With a "crack," something seemed to break, and the monster could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.
The crowd gathered around, watching the fallen monster warily. The monster's body gradually dissipated, leaving only a black crystal emitting an eerie glow.
Er Gou picked up the crystal and examined it curiously: "What is this thing? How did it get inside a monster's body?"
Lingyue took the crystal, examined it carefully, and said, "This crystal contains powerful dark energy. It's very likely that someone deliberately implanted it into the monster's body to control it to attack us."
Pigsy said angrily, "It must be some scoundrel playing tricks again. Once I catch him, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"
Back at the castle, Lingyue conducted in-depth research on the black crystal. A few days later, she gathered everyone together and said solemnly, "I've discovered that the dark power on this crystal is similar to the power used by the black-robed man we encountered in the Dream Kingdom. I suspect there may be others like the black-robed man who have inherited dark power and want to harm us."
Xiaoqing frowned and said, "This is troublesome. We don't know how many other people like this are watching us from the shadows."
After a moment of contemplation, Liu Yu said, "No matter how many there are, we cannot sit idly by and wait to die. From now on, we must strengthen the castle's defenses, and at the same time, we must continue to improve our own strength."
Just then, a commotion arose outside the castle. The group rushed to the gate and saw a young adventurer being stopped by the guards. Upon seeing them, he quickly called out, "Heroes, I have something important to tell you!"
The group led the adventurer into the castle, and as soon as he entered, he eagerly said, "During my adventures, I heard a legend. In the north of the continent, there is a forgotten ancient city, where a mysterious inheritance is said to be hidden. Those who obtain this inheritance will gain immense power, but some say that if that power goes out of control, it will bring great disaster. I think this may be related to the dark forces you are facing, so I came to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Pigsy's eyes lit up, and he said, "A mysterious inheritance? Let's hurry up and go, maybe we can find a way to completely eliminate the dark forces."
Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Bajie, you're always so impulsive. This inheritance sounds fraught with danger; we need to think this through carefully."
Fahai clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, this lineage is of great importance. If it can truly resolve the threat of dark forces, then we might as well give it a try. But we must be fully prepared."
After some discussion, the group decided to embark on a journey to find the mysterious inheritance. Along the way, Pigsy was extremely excited, constantly imagining the magnificent scene that awaited him after obtaining the inheritance.
"Once I obtain that mysterious inheritance, those lackeys of the dark forces will be so frightened that they'll turn and run away at the sight of me. I, Old Pig, will definitely become the most powerful hero on the continent!" Pigsy said excitedly as he walked.
Xiaoqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Bajie, stop daydreaming. Maybe the inheritance won't even look at you and will go straight to someone else."
"Little Qing, you little brat, you're always pouring cold water on me. I, Old Pig, am so powerful, the inheritance is definitely mine." Pigsy muttered unconvinced.
The group traveled north and finally arrived at the legendary forgotten ancient city. The city looked dilapidated, with collapsed walls and half-closed gates, exuding an eerie atmosphere.
As you enter the ancient city, the streets are overgrown with weeds, and most of the houses have collapsed. Suddenly, a cold wind blows by, making a "whooshing" sound, as if the ancient city is telling its tragic story.
Pigsy shrank his neck and said, "This place is so gloomy, even I, Old Pig, feel a bit chilly."
Xiaoqing teased, "Hey, Bajie, aren't you supposed to be fearless? What, are you scared now?"
"I...I'm not scared at all! I just think the wind is a bit strange," Pigsy said stubbornly.
The group continued onward and arrived at the central square of the ancient city. In the square stood a colossal statue depicting a person in a long robe, holding a gleaming sword. The statue's eyes were empty and lifeless, yet they seemed to be watching the people's every move.
“This statue looks unusual,” Liu Yu said, stepping forward to examine it closely.
Just then, the statue suddenly moved. It slowly raised its arm and pointed to one side of the square. Everyone looked in the direction it was pointing and saw a passage leading underground.
"It seems this is showing us the way," Lingyue said.
The group cautiously descended the passage, which was filled with an ancient atmosphere. After walking for a while, they arrived at a huge underground palace. The palace was filled with various ancient artifacts, and the walls were covered with strange runes and patterns.
In the center of the palace, there is a stone platform, on which sits an ancient book that emits a faint glow.
“That ancient book might be the key to the mysterious inheritance,” Er Gou said.
Just as the group was about to approach the stone platform, a group of ghostly figures suddenly surged out from all directions. These ghosts were completely transparent, with empty eyes, and emitted eerie cries as they pounced on the group.
"Perfect timing! I was just looking to stretch my muscles!" Pigsy brandished his nine-toothed rake and charged towards the ghost. However, the rake passed right through the ghost's body, having no effect whatsoever.
"These ghosts are illusions; normal attacks are useless," Liu Yu shouted.
Lingyue quickly took out some special powder and sprinkled it on the ghost. After the powder touched the ghost, the ghost's body became slightly more solid.
"Attack now!" Lingyue shouted.
Everyone unleashed their skills, attacking the ghosts. Fahai's Buddhist light, Xiaoqing's sonic waves, Liu Yu's sword energy, and Ergou's dagger attacks all had an effect on the ghosts. Under the combined assault, the ghosts gradually dissipated.
After dealing with the ghost, the group arrived at the stone platform. Liu Yu reached out and picked up the ancient book. The moment he touched it, a powerful flow of information surged into his mind. Liu Yu saw the history of this ancient city and the secrets of its mysterious heritage.
It turns out that this ancient city was once the territory of a powerful magician. In pursuit of even greater power, this magician conducted a forbidden magical experiment. After the experiment failed, he sealed his power within this ancient book, setting up numerous traps to prevent others from easily obtaining it. This power is a double-edged sword; used properly, it can benefit the continent, but if it falls into the hands of those with malicious intent, it will bring utter destruction.
Just as everyone was pondering how to deal with this inherited power, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the passageway. A moment later, a group of men in black appeared in the palace.
The leader of the men in black looked at the group and sneered, "I didn't expect you to find this place too. We're going to take this mysterious inheritance!"
Liu Yu gripped the ancient book tightly and said, "Who are you people? This inheritance cannot fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives like you!"
The leader of the men in black laughed loudly and said, "Who we are is not important. What is important is that none of you will leave with the legacy today!" With that, he waved his hand, and the men in black drew their weapons and charged towards the crowd.
Pigsy shouted, "Well done! I, Old Pig, will show you what's what today!" With that, he brandished his nine-toothed rake and charged forward. Although the men in black outnumbered them, their teamwork was excellent, and for a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
While shaking the bell to attack the men in black, Xiaoqing shouted, "These men in black are strong, everyone be careful!"
Fahai unleashed his full power of Buddhist light, which shone brightly within the palace. Some of the men in black were slowed down by the light. Er Gou nimbly weaved among the men in black, seeking opportunities to attack their vitals. Liu Yu protected the ancient book in his hands while simultaneously unleashing the power of his sword, his sword energy crisscrossing and repelling many of the men in black.
However, the men in black seemed to keep coming, with new ones constantly pouring in through the passage. Pigsy grew anxious and shouted, "This can't go on! There are too many men in black!"
Looking at the ancient book in her hand, Lingyue suddenly thought of a way. She said to Liu Yu, "Try to guide the power of the ancient book out; maybe we can use its power to repel the men in black."
Liu Yu nodded, concentrating his mind and attempting to guide the power of the ancient book. The book began to emit a strong light, which transformed into energy waves that surged towards the men in black. Struck by the energy waves, the men in black collapsed to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the men in black's expression changed drastically. He knew that if this continued, his side would undoubtedly be defeated. So, he shouted, "Retreat!" The men in black quickly retreated and disappeared into the passage.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they also knew that these men in black would not give up easily.
Looking at the ancient book in his hand, Liu Yu said, "The power of this mysterious inheritance is too great; we cannot use it lightly. Moreover, those men in black will definitely come back to snatch it again. Let's return to the castle first and discuss this further."
